I keep checking my "Delivery Estimate" date for AWD to see if it magically moved forward. It hasn't.I keep checking my config page to see if that and AWD show up.
That really sucks as any delay could push it into the $3,750 tax credit. They could also package it with the AWD that I dont want. On top of that I would think all the current owners wanting AWD would jump the line waiters again.
Are there really another 30k in the US and Canada that want the current configuration?
Elon just responded to timing questions via Twitter. AWD ~July, and similar timing for white interior. Says they need to achieve 5K/week before adding complexity that could potentially inhibit the ramp.
Ughhhh.
Thanks for posting this info, I went ahead and configured. Would have loved to wait for the white interior but can't risk missing out on the full tax credit or getting caught behind everyone that wants AWD.
I guess I can always get white after market seats later with part of the tax credit if I feel it is needed in this hot FL weather.
Encouraging to hear that. I would hold out too, but for the uncertainty of Elon Time. With all due respect, I’m not sure of the July date being achievable. Add to that, the AWD seekers who are current owners: that’s pushing it uncomfortably close to $3,750 territory.Guys there’s a group of TMC members with credibility here (look for the 200k thread) - forecasting Q3 when Tesla will cross the 200k mark. Tesla is working to optimize the date for our benefit. Pushing Canadian and other external markets while they work on the ramp rate. Once the ramp is optimized, they’ll time it to end with the quarters to give us the longest production run time before the phase out begins.
We’ve got some time.
But you could wait and see what happens. If for some reason they do end up hitting 200K in Q2, you still have 3 months to get the car delivered. So the day of the earnings call that tells you they hit 200k, you put in your order. If they end up not hitting it in Q2, then you get an additional 3 months before having to make up your mind. The only reason to get it now is because you don't actually care about having the AWD or potentially white interior. Or because you just *have* to have a Tesla now.Encouraging to hear that.

Personally we’re biting the bullet and going with the black interior. Maybe we’ll get the white when the second ICE car eventually gets replaced by a second Tesla!

Why would they continue to make RWD? Margins are higher for AWD and it's easier to only make one configuration at a time.If they hit in Q2 I think only a handful of non-owners would make the cut. Say they have 40,000 current owner reservations and 50% are waiting on the AWD. When they start producing the AWD I would expect some RWD to stil be produced. Lets say the AWD/RWD mix is 50/50. With 2 weeks between production and delivery the earliest a non-owner could get the white would be Sept 15th. That is if owners have priority, nothing goes wrong, they start production on July 1st and average 5,000/week for that time frame.

There have been zero mentions of interiors other than black and white, so I would think it is unlikely any time soon. We have commitments for dual motor, white interior, short range battery, performance edition, and non-premium interior that have been announced and I would expect will be delivered before any new options.Holding out for tan/cream/beige. Would take white over black, but prefer beige.
If they were going to switch to nothing but AWD only 6 months into production, why even start with RWD at all? Why not just start with AWD from the beginning?Why would they continue to make RWD? Margins are higher for AWD and it's easier to only make one configuration at a time.
